Reviews from travellers on this tour

Denise

Well combined Tour!

06-Sep-2019

I worked with Kerem on creating a custom itinerary for my trip to Turkey this past fall. He was able to pull together flights, transfers, accommodation, tours, visits, meals and exclusive visits based on my preferences, allowing me to spend time on other things. The tour guides were very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. I got sick one day and my guide took me to the hospital and stayed with me the entire time and was so concerned. Just goes to show the caliber of people they hire. The hotels they selected for me were very comfortable, clean and you can tell they take pride in their selections. The best thing about it is they're affordable. I have told several friends about using their services. Highly recommend them. They're trusted and professional! Thanks Kerem for putting up with my million emails/questions and always being so patient and responsive.

Kerem has helped me organize a budget-friendly tour that covers the highlights of Turkey (Izmir, Ephesus, Pamukalle, and Capadoccia) and was flexible when we wanted to do Istanbul as DIY tour. He has been constantly following-up on how we are doing with the tour, always available for every concern/updates we've asked during the tour. Very efficient and very customer focused - I have met some other people who booked from him and we shared the same feedback. I would definitely recommend it! Thanks for all the help Kerem. Regards, Jay
